Adams (1980, p. 168 ) recommends a No 12 (minus blue) filter for removing haze (which is a deep yellow) so I guess what you need is a graduated version of that. What colour are the Tiffen Haze filters? K. PS Whatever bright spark decided to make 8 ) (without the space) the code for a smiley n...

The haze filters are a bit orange (brwon) from colour but from all that i've read they recommend red or yellow filters for B&W so how Adams came with using a blue filter?

The Tiffen filters are supposed to be neutral. They also do one with a slight orange tinge, but a paraglider chappy I know who shoots a lot of aerial stuff uses the haze-1, but says the haze-2a are better. In Lightroom, a yellow/slightly orange filter gives more contrast. I am thinking of trying th...

The only thing I edited was the 8 ) to insert a space so that I didn't get a 8) K.

Tiffen produce Haze2A filters which take out an aweful lot of UV. Used them in high alpine scenery some years ago. I know thats probably closer to sea level than you want. http://www.tiffen.com/ They also do colour grads, but no idea what colour you'd need regards Bernard

Anyone tried one of these? Cheap, but is it cheerful? Edit (link removed - thanks John)

That's done the trick. These were mentioned when they first came out but I don't think anyone has commented after they've bought one.

This thread doesn't inspire much confidence: http://www.talkphotography.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?t=311064 However luckily 7-Day shop have a liberal returns policy, so there's not much risk in trying one out. But on the results shown in that thread, I wouldn't bother.

You're right. Might be OK if you're only using it for up to 5 stops.

7dayshop Variable ND filter
I know this is an old thread, but I recently bought a 52mm 7dayshop variable ND filter and used it stacked on a polariser for some landscapes the other day. It works really well; no colour cast (unlike some cheap ND filters) and no noticeable degradation in image quality, as long as it is not used ...

7dayshop Variable ND filter
I have the 67mm and reckon it's pretty good as well. Haven't used it as much as I would like yet, but initial findings were much the same. Image quality was still good at maximum.

7dayshop Variable ND filter
Also bought the varible ND from 7dayshop. Haven't yet used it, but notice the rotation action is quite stiff towards one end, and wondering if this is normal? Might loosen off in use of course, but it feels sufficiently stiff to unscrew from the filter thread in use, but as said, not used it yet.

Mine rotates fine. If it's stiff enough to unscrew the filter it might be worth changing for another one. Or turn it the other way!
